Writings in general linguistics

"Ferdinand de Saussure's Cours de linguistique generale was posthumously composed by his students from the notes they had made at his lectures. The book became one of the most influential works of the twentieth century, giving direction to modern linguistics and inspiration to literary and cultural theory. Before he died Saussure told friends he was writing up the lectures himself but no evidence of this was found. Eighty years later in 1996 a manuscript in Saussure's hand was discovered in the orangerie of his family house in Geneva. This proved to be the missing original of the great work.

It is published now in English for the first time in an edition edited by Simon Bouquet and Rudolph Engler, and translated and introduced by Carol Sanders and Matthew Pires, all leading Saussure scholars. The book includes an earlier discovered manuscript on the philosophy of language, Saussure's own notes for lectures, and a comprehensive bibliography of major work on Saussure from 1970 to 2004."--BOOK JACKET.

出版商概要

a very good translation... this volume marks a true watershed in the development of Saussurean studies in the English-speaking world. John E. Joseph, The Modern Language Review This is basically a translation, into accurate and readable English, of the collection edited by Simon Bouquet and Rudolf Engler, published by Gallimard in 2002...The present edition adds a useful introduction by Carol Sanders and a bibliography, mainly compiled by Sanders and Matthew Pires, of secondary works on Saussure published between 1970 and 2004...The translation, for which Sanders and Pires are again responsible, is very well done. P. H. Matthews, French Studies Quarterly Review I consider the present volume a highly valuable publication not only in the context of Saussurean studies but for all linguists and graduate students interested in the history of linguistics, philosophy of language, and semiotics.
